Nursing

The Associate Degree Nursing program at Mid-State Technical College located in Wisconsin Rapids, WI is accredited by the:

Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN)
3390 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 1400, Atlanta, Georgia 30326 • 404.975.5000 • http://acenursing.org/

The Board of Commissioners granted continuing accreditation to the associate program and scheduled the next evaluation visit for Fall 2030.

In order to recognize the experience and education of the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and Paramedic, an LPN/Paramedic-to-ADN (Associate Degree Nursing) pathway has been developed. This means that upon successful completion of specified activities and coursework, an LPN or Paramedic would be eligible to enter the ADN program as a third semester student (based on seat availability).

• LPN-to-ADN Pathway
• Paramedic-to-ADN Pathway

An agreement between Mid-State Technical College and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point allows students to complete an associate degree in nursing (ADN) at Mid-State and a bachelor of science degree in nursing (BSN) through UW-Stevens Point known as the Partnership Program (1+2+1). This allows students to begin their coursework at either institution by taking general studies courses to meet Mid-State’s ADN admission requirements. For students beginning at Mid-State, the program allows acceptance into UW-Stevens Point RN to BSN completion major as early as the third semester of the Mid-State ADN program. For students beginning at UW-Stevens Point, the agreement also creates a competitive application process to gain entrance into Mid-State’s ADN program each semester, providing an efficient and affordable path to becoming a registered nurse (RN) in central Wisconsin. Following completion of the Partnership Program, students will have earned both an ADN and BSN and successfully achieved licensure as an RN in the state of Wisconsin.

In addition, any graduate from the nursing program can pursue a BSN degree from numerous colleges that have transfer pathway with the college. This allows many credits earned at Mid-State to be accepted by the BSN college.
